Re: How bad WERE the '55 Packards?

I was under the impression that the frames were shipped in from the supplier firm of A. O. Smith in Milwaukee. I wonder why Packard didn't refuse the material on inspection? Were they really building so many cars that they couldn't afford to set aside a load of frames? Or was Conner so tight on space that they had no area to quarantine the material? Or was the process at Connor so out of control that no material inspection took place until it was too late?

Maybe it was a blend of all three!
